Well, I applaud your effort but you've missed things.

The market doesn't need anything, human beings need and desire things and, in the capitalist model, the market is the means to balance those needs and desires things.

If 50 entrepreneurs desire 500 data scientists for their enterprises and only 250 fifty such scientists are on offer, they'll bid up the prices until some of them decide "I don't want them that much" and then we're done.

Of course, if our 50 entrepreneurs all have vast, vast wealth and a very strong desire for those scientists, we may see them creating bootcamps for quick data scientist development or whatever. Then they might indeed wind-up another 250 data scientists and again, we're done with no mystery.

Of course, you could argue that markets aren't as efficient as some claim but that's just about irrelevant to our reasoning here since we're mostly reasoning by definitions and extreme and so the OP basically holds true - you say you want but you've shown you don't want it that much and so you're really blowing smoke...
